Welcome to the Post-Polio Institute at Englewood Hospital.
For nearly thirty years, Dr. Richard L. Bruno's Post-Polio Institute has been the world's leading center for the study and treatment of Post-Polio Sequelae (PPS).
PPS are the unexpected and often disabling symptoms -- overwhelming fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle and joint pain, sleep disorders, heightened sensitivity to anesthesia, cold intolerance, and difficulty swallowing and breathing -- that occur in non-paralytic and paralytic polio survivors in midlife.
Read MIA FARROW'S POST-POLIO LETTER and learn how The Post-Polio Institute can help you not just survive, but thrive, with PPS.

Dr. Bruno outside "30 ROCK" presenting the "David Bodian Memorial Award" for post-polio education to NBC on the TODAY SHOW with Matt Lauer and a bundled Katie Couric.
The Bodian Award is named after Dr. David Bodian, whose research in the 1940's explained how the poliovirus damaged the brain and spinal cord and set the stage for PPS. Bodian is an unsung hero of PPS who worked closely with Dr. Jonas Salk to help him develop the first polio vaccine.
Former Senator Bill Bradley, Senator Arlen Specter, Congressman Steve Rothman and actress Mia Farrow are among those who have received The Bodian Award. |
